River cruisers
See the OKC skyline from a different angle: a boat. Yes, a boat.

After parading down concrete barriers, driving past downtown’s construction and into Regatta Park, you wonder what the heck you signed up for. How can a river cruise happen here, in Oklahoma?

Is it hot enough out there for you? We’ve got your tongue-scorching drinks to get you through the rest of the sultry summer.

A Bloody Mary is distinctive for its zesty zing, but it’s not the only drink capable of turning up the heat. A new style of spicy cocktails — martinis garnished with jalapeños, margaritas mixed with cayenne, spirits spiked with bitters — is fueling a new trend.

Commentary
Chance Hunter
Oklahoma City was built for cars. Like many young cities in this part of the country, its growth sprawled out across a grid of major streets intersecting every mile, overlaid by a wider grid of in-town highways. Most trips take just 10 or 20 minutes even if they take almost as many miles.

Welch’s kids apparently have an ongoing YouTube series involving their Mario and Luigi dolls, and in this episode, they’re lucky enough to get to interview The Wayne.
What I love about this is how earnest and silly Coyne is with these two boys, and that behavior isn’t even slightly different from any other interview I’ve ever seen him in. Watch for yourself:
